| theprof00 said: Wasn't it not supposed to use cpu at all? I remember that being posted here before when it was leaked that they were taking out the onboard kinect processing. Anyway, I was under the assumption that multitasking actually increased the amount of cpu being used by both programs and created memory bottlenecks, is that not true? |
Not sure about the multitasking thing, but it was originally stated that the Kinect would have a processor of its own. Microsoft, however, later announced this would not be the case. I would say the major reason for this is because if they would have had to put a processor in every single Kinect, it would be a minimum of $200 on store shelves, and while I cannot for the life of me believe that $149 is selling as much as it is in preorders already, I really don't think people would pay $199 for it.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
